I finally got a chance to try this stuff out and it really removed some of the major blemishes in my paint. Overall it's definitely worth the cost but I just need to revise my technique

No cube this time though. I got a Chrysler 200 rental which the girl at enterprise told me cheerily "had just been detailed" because someone was doing "illegal things" in it.

Yeah the car reeks of weed.

What I did...

I backed up into a curb after getting gas and trying to pull out of the station (there was a car at the pump in front of me). It was 8pm and dark. I didn't realize I had backed up that far back. Small scratches underneath the dummy light (as in literally, under the light. You'd have to get on your knees to see it) from what I can see, so I got lucky.
